History

Designed to assess the environmental impact of packaging resources and processes, the Packaging Impact Quick Evaluation Tool (PIQET) was created to link technical research teams with users. The driving factor for PIQET was, and still is, to provide a streamlined approach to Life Cycle Assessments, through quick, online use.

The first online version of PIQET was completed in 2007, being launched officially in 2008. Over the past decade PIQET has provided the consumer goods industry with credible, independent and affordable access to Life Cycle information, assessing environmental impacts of packaging. What has set PIQET apart from other tools is the combination of the most relevant and reputable data and methodology, with a simple but comprehensive interface to undertaken environmental assessment.

Having been involved in the initial development, and provided technical services to the previous owners, lifecycles took over ownership of PIQET in April 2016. As specialists in Life Cycle Assessment, we are planning to take PIQET to a new level, with PIQET 4.0 due for release this November. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PIQET 4.0 HERE.
